darkdancer333 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 I saw something today looked in a way like a nudibranch.. this was black lol no idea where it came from Link to comment
Pinner Reef Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 It does indeed look like a nudibranch, although what type I can't really tell from the pic. Here is a link to many of the know species to pop up in our systems: http://www.julianrocks.net/index.php Nudibranchs often have very specific diets which are difficult to replicate within our systems. Perhaps you might be able to ID it with that site above and get it the proper food it likes. The only other thing it might be a a Cowrie with it's mantel hooding the shell. You could feel the shell underneith the hood in this case. Link to comment
Mariaface Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Could it be a Black Frilled Limpet? We like to call them Batman. Link to comment

I use to have a white slug that was about this size I wonder if he evolved to this. it has grown in my tank so he must be feeding on something Link to comment

Mariaface Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 A nudibranch would carry its gills on its back, so watch out for that? Link to comment
darkdancer333 Posted July 31, 2016 Author Share Posted July 31, 2016 I have a feeling its my old white sea slug that changed its color lol A nudibranch would carry its gills on its back, so watch out for that? I had a white nudibranch I bought it shriveled and died in a month. This one here is home grown he has a soft white underbelly Link to comment

You're going to want to poke it and see if it retracts that mantle into a flat shell, in which case you're looking at a frilled limpet Link to comment
